Lavendou Bistro Provincial

Lavendou was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere the most. Somewhat like Old Vintage Italy. The dishes were very savory. My friend had the Salmon and I had the Crepes Du Jour. It was very good and light. Perfect on an hot summer day or evening. I ended the experience with the creamy Creme Burlee. It was a tad expensive for lunch, however I don't regret the experience.

Went here for a birthday and my first “high tea” experience. The table settings, decor, and environment is so dainty and pleasant!

We had tea (lavender to be specific), if course, which I enjoyed. We also had scones, zucchini bread, pastries, cucumber sandwiches, and chicken salad sandwiches (all pictured below).

I wasn’t crazy about the food, but I think some of it may just be acquired tastes and I’m not used to any of the dishes.

It’s a great place for intimate gatherings with girlfriends, or any of the women in your life.

I’m glad I went. It was a change from the typical Dallas restaurants and bars.

It was 9 of us total and we each paid $30 even.

Place was pretty full on a Friday so reservations recommended. We got the mussels and escargot as appetizers, they were just okay. Wasn’t a fan of the mussel broth which I usually love to soak up with bread. Entrees were excellent though. We got the pan seared soled with crab and ribeye.

We loved it but…

My wife and I visited for her birthday (although we didn’t celebrate at the restaurant). We enjoyed the atmosphere, staff attentiveness and the food. It was overall a great visit.

However, we had a big piece of hair under the onion soup bowl (between the saucer and the bowl). Since it was under the bowl and we had already finished the soup, we didn’t bring it to the attention of the server. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed every other aspect of our visit and will be back - hopefully to brush up more on my French language skills.
